lnetructors-A Lecture Inst Eve

Prof Ogden is q man Of ability, and his
efforts during the institute have been

to making more frequent the meetings of
the teachers. Ysnkton county will in
the future be recognized for the ex-
cellence of its schools and will emulate
the educational example OF the city.
To-day the programme has been varied
slightly from that of other days, but in
general outline it has been the same
The teachers adjourned to meet agar
one year hence, and it is probable that In
even that long time none OF the lessons
which ha We been learned this week will
have been forgotten.

FoR TEN DAYS.
Under the act creating the Office OF
public examiner the members OF boards
OF territorial Trustees may be suspended
from the functions OF their offices du-
ring the continuance Of an investigation
by the public examiner. On Tuesday
of this week the public examiner insti-
tuted a second investigation of the
trustees. of the insane hospital and mott.
fed the trustees that this investigation
would remain open ten days-up to the
9TH OF October. During this period OF
time the three trustees to whom the
suspension order applies are prevented
from exercising their duties. The law
does not permit the governor to appoint
trustees to the temporary vacancies
thus created. so the places of Messrs
Van Tassel, Powers and Williams re-
main open. The governor has no
authority to create new trustees, except
in case of resignation or death.
BRoWN n LEWIS.
During the latter part of last May
Trustees Brown and Lewis placed their
resignations IN the hands OF the COVER
nor, where they havs since remained,
subject 10 action on sa5 part of the
executive. Their aoceptance to-day by
the governor creates two vacancies in
the board which he can fill by appoint
But two members do not consti-
tute q quorum of the board and no busi.
ness a be transacted without at least
one Of the three suspended trustees. So.
the appointment of two new trustees in
place Of Messrs Brown and Lewis will
have no effect. The affairs of the hospi.
tai are all aaoat during the suspensions
ordered. There is no business
organization to the institution. Mat.
ters have not been bettered by this act
by the governor. He probably has
another scheme behind this which will
develop ia q day OF two.

EASTERN NEWS.
ESPECIAL TO rzE sENTrrKL.I
EHesf of the Storm In Colorado.

DENVER, Col, Feb. 1S.-A light
windstorm set in over the eastern por-
ton of Colorado at 10 o'clock last
night. Its velocity steadily increased
until 4 o'clock this morning, when the
gale reached 90 miles an hour, and
continued until 2 O'Clock this after
noon. In Denver many buildings
were unroofed, ~smokestacks, Chin
neys, telephone and telegraph poles.
were leveled to the ground, causing a
damage of several thousand dollars.
Outside OF Denver the casualties re-
ported are considerably greater than
in the city. On the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, four miles north of
Colorado Springs, every coach of the
north-bound Salt Lake express, con-
sisting OF two smokers, two passenger
coaches, baggage and mail car, were
blown from the track about 8 O'Clock
this morning, and the mail car, with
contents, was destroyed by fire. Had
the accident happened while the train
was on the high embankment a short
ways ahead, the loss Of life would
have been great; but fortunately the
ground was perfectly level and no one
was injured. A freight train OF 20 cars,
side-tracked near by, waiting for the
express to pass, was also derailed by
the wind, and the cars badly damaged,
A passenger train OF three coaches, on
the Denver & South Park road, which
left Union Depot for Morrison at
O'Clock, was lifted from the track by q
terrific blast, and hurled down an eight
foot embankment when about ter
miles from the city. One passenger
had his leg broken and several Others
were badly bruised. Near Como, OF
the same road, the Leadville express
was blown over the bridge, and nearly
| all the passengers and train men wert
| severely wounded and the coaches
| badly wrecked. All the incoming pas
senger trains and freights on the var
| ious roads are from five to ten hour
late on account of the storm.

CARsOE WATCHING RENO.

The Reno Gazette says that e~nvieus
eyes in Carson are now watching Reno.
ALI kinds Of rumors are in she air.
Within the past few days there has been
a hurrying to and fro; the din Of battle
is heard in the distance; a fear as OF
death is pictured in the face; the Carson
citizen is alarmed; no prison bill has been
introduced, no move made. but Carson is
afraid she will lose the prison. In . gen.
eral way let US understand why. The
prison is an expensive institution. Il is
shut in by walls of stone. There being
no soil and no irrigation water, there can
be carried on there no agriculture; there
being no water power, all efforts at man
u~facture but add additional cost to the
State; there being nc demand for the
stone, the quarry is a failure; in q 6nan.
cial sense the whole institution is q fail.
ure. No wonder the average Carson
citizen is worried and alarmed at such .
showing. There are other places in Ne
vada where there are plenty Of agricul-
tural lands, abundant water power to
run all kinds of machinery for manu-.
f~acture. where the prison might be main
tanned at little or no expense to the
State. Fifteen years ago the State OF
Nevada through its representatives, re.
solved that in the interest Of the tax
payers OF the State, there should be q
change of location for the prison. The
array of facts and figures presented in
the early seventies has stared the people
in the face ever since. From that day
to this there mas been no other argument
but that in its favor. No other argu'
ment can now be presented, the conclu'
sion is inevitable that the prison location
should be changed. That it will b
changed is but a question OF time; Thu
every man admits. The only stumbling
block now in its way is the lobbyist. /
the estimates made be correct that th'
prison, located elsewhere, could be mad
self-supporting or nearly so, then $40,
900 annually is wasted; if in the valley
oil the Truckee with its rich fields ant
undiminished water power offer the in
ducements for this institution that il
claimed, the duty of the Legislature il
SO plain that he who runs may read.

AN INJUSTICE TO THE PEOPLE,

The Winnemucca Silver State says the
majority of the members of the Nevada
Legislature seem determined to bring
that body into disrepute with the people.
Two years ago for the first thirty days
Of the sixty to which the constitution
limits each session, the Assembly was in
session only thirty-six hours and the
Senate did little better. This year the
Assembly adjourned over three days ct
one time, the limit allowed by the con.
s~titution, in consequence of the absence
of a clerk, who went to San Francisco
without leave. This week the Senate
did not have a quorum in consequence OF
the snow blockade, a large number Of the
members being west of the mountains.
Both bodies invariably adjourn on Fri.
day, and it is not unusual for many OF
the members to spend their Sundays in
San Francisco.
It certainly is an injustice to the tax.
payers of the State for any sixty men,
besides attaches, to spend sixty days
every two years at an expense OF from
$50, 600 to $50. 900 doing what could and
ought to be accomplished in half the
time. The financial condition of the
State forbids such a waste of time and
extravaganza, but the politicians at each
recurring election appeal to the preju.
dices Of the people and their delinquen.
cies are overlooked or forgotten.
In justice to the Humboldt delegation
it should be stated that they are always
at their posts, and one of them, Mr.. Nc.
Cornell, while in the Senate some years
ago. advocated the reduction of the mum.
Der of members by one-half and limiting
the duration of the session to thirty
days, knowing by experience that the
present method of procedure in a State
with as small a population as Nevada is
but an expensive farce.
